Default Elite XC Goes Under

So apparently Kimbo isn't the only one who got KO'd, the entire company is going under. I just read on ESPN that Elite XC is cancelling all upcoming events and that its parent company, ProElite Inc., would close for good this week and would file for bankruptcy protection.

Here's the story:
ESPN - Reports: EliteXC tells employees, fighters it's out of business - MMA

Kimbo can always go back to YouTube.

Not surprising as they banked everything on shitty fighters and gimmicks. That sucks for the good fighters that were employed. But I suppose the best will move on to other orgs and the rest, such as Kimbo, will hopefully not be heard from again.

I dont want to say good bye to Gina yet though. I still hope that fight with her and cyborg goes down. Good entertainment value!

My prediction after watching the first event. Now, bring back WMAC Masters!

My guess...Kimbo ends up on WWE.
